BBC expected to bid again for Boat Race after ITV drops event
elevision rights to the Boat Race have been put up for grabs after ITV pulled out of broadcasting the event.
The annual clash between the Oxford and Cambridge university rowing teams on the Thames may now return to the BBC, where it was a fixture for more than 50 years.
Despite the interest in rowing generated by British successes in the Bejing Olympics and the status of rowers such as Sir Stephen Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent, the ITV network, which took over the rights in 2005, said the race had now taken second place to football on its balance sheet.
The network said: "ITV has invested heavily in a fantastic football portfolio and therefore we will not be renewing our contract for the Boat Race, with the 2009 race the last on ITV1.''
It is also likely that ITV is belt-tightening - coverage is very expensive for a 20-minute event.
Bidding for the rights, which may now now be considerably cheaper than when they were lost, is expected to be headed by the BBC, which will be anxious to add it to its much-diminished portfolio of major sporting events. Channel 4 and Five are also likely to be interested, as is Sky, but the organisers are said to be keen to keep it on terrestrial TV.
Since 1998, the race has not been protected under the Government's "crown jewels" rules to ensure major sporting events remain ring-fenced against non-terrestrial networks.
The event switched to ITV at a point when the organisers were keen to maximize the sponsorship and marketing of the race. Although no longer the national institution it once was, the Boat Race still attracts a large audience - 7.6million last year, a 76 per cent increase over the previous year. Organisers have claimed that the worldwide television audience is 120 million, although other estimates have put it closer to 20 million.
The race along four miles of the Thames between Putney and Mortlake, is one of the oldest events in the sporting calendar. It began in 1829 and has been held annually every year apart from the two world wars. The rowers have to be students at either universities.

India navy defends piracy sinking
The Indian navy has defended its action in sinking a ship near Somalia that maritime officials have confirmed was a hijacked Thai fishing boat.
The International Maritime Bureau said the Ekawat Nava 5 had been captured by pirates earlier in the day on 18 November and the crew was tied up.
One crewman was found alive after six days adrift but 14 are still missing.
The Indian navy said the ship was a pirate vessel in "description and intent" and had opened fire first.
India is one of several countries currently patrolling the Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, amid increasing attacks by Somali pirates.
Almost 40 ships have been seized this year, the biggest the Saudi oil tanker, Sirius Star, which is still being held off the Somali coast.
'Exploding ammunition'
Indian navy spokesman, Commander Nirad Sinha, told AFP news agency: "The vessel was similar in description to what was mentioned in various piracy bulletins.
"The Indian navy ship asked them to stop for investigation. On repeated calls, the vessel responded by saying it would blow up the Indian ship," he said.

We hope that this incident won't affect the anti-piracy operation by the multi-coalition navies
Noel Choong,
International Maritime Bureau
"Pirates were seen roaming on the deck with rocket-propelled grenade launchers."
Commander Sinha insisted that the INS Tabar only opened fire after being fired upon, and that "exploding ammunition was also seen" on the target.
Noel Choong, who heads the International Maritime Bureau's (IMB) piracy reporting centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, confirmed the vessel was the Ekawat Nava 5.
"The Indian navy assumed it was a pirate vessel because they may have seen armed pirates on board the boat which had been hijacked earlier," Mr Choong told Associated Press.
"We are saddened with what has happened. It's an unfortunate tragedy. We hope that this incident won't affect the anti-piracy operation by the multi-coalition navies there," he said.
The owner of Ekawat Nava 5, Wicharn Sirichaiekawat, said his company had informed the IMB the boat had been hijacked and had asked for assistance.
The British navy confirmed the boat had been boarded and that any action could harm the crew.
The IMB sent an alert to other multi-coalition patrol vessels but Mr Choong said it was unclear whether the Indian vessel had received it as it had no direct IMB links.
Mr Choong urged more cooperation in the future.
Mr Wicharn said the boat had been headed from Oman to Yemen to deliver fishing equipment when it was approached by the pirates in two speedboats.
The Indian navy mistook the vessel for a pirate "mother ship", he said.
Mr Wicharn said he had learnt the fate of his trawler from a Cambodian crew member who had survived the bombardment and had been rescued by a passing ship after six days adrift in the Indian Ocean.
The sailor was now recovering in a hospital in Yemen, he said.
The survivor said all the crew were tied up except the captain and translator.
Mr Wicharn said the Thai foreign ministry had summoned the Indian ambassador to issue a complaint.

classic cruising exeter
As a child it was my dream to sail a boat and be the 'skipper'.
The good news is that my dream became reality thanks to the Classic Cruisers. They presented the opportunity for me and my family to get away from all the troubles in the world. It was just me, them and the boat. Brilliant.
I felt like I was on top of the world, or water at-least!
The cabin proved itself to be spacious, stylish, comfortable and safe. What better way of spending your days can there be, than spending them on a lovely motor boat sailing the beautiful surrounds of the British Waterways.
